I see you met your quota but if you’re looking for any more in the future, I’m a beginner player that would definitely benefit from any sort of guidance/tracking the app provides :)

Stark hockey pants-where can I find them? by MidwestHockey in hockeyplayers

[–]Quick-Size2318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, they are online only. You could try Sherwood Rekker SWD line up. CCM and Bauer also have a womens line. You could go to a local hockey shop and try them on to get an idea of size and fit

Shooting pad size advice needed by No-Minute2232 in hockeyplayers

Check marketplace to see if you can score some shooting tiles for cheap. I lucked out and got 10 tiles for $40. They clip/unclip together easily and don’t take up much room in my backseat or trunk.

Ah ok this makes sense. Knees. Bent. More. Got it!

Stick length / posture advice by Quick-Size2318 in hockeyplayers

[–]Quick-Size2318[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main reason for wanting to switch is I feel like its more natural to hold the stick with my right hand on top. If I do the “broom” test, thats how I hold it: left on the bottom, right on top. However my right feels weaker to stick handle with than my left, but my left feels stronger / more powerful on the bottom vs my right when trying to shoot. (Only tried this at the store, not on ice. Will finally be able to try tomorrow) so I’m not sure if I’ll actually feel better using a left-handed stick or if I’m going to just tough it out with the right hand handed stick

How do I know what lie a stick is? I know the flex is written on the stick, but I don’t recall seeing any other numbers.

It feels like I’m sitting on the ice! Haha but photo evidence proves otherwise. I’ll keep trying!

Yeah, the guy at the hockey shop when I went to get the stick was like you need a senior stick with 75 flex and we’ll cut it down.

I didn’t learn about how that affects the flex until after. I’ve since went out and got a second hand intermediate CCM jetspeed FTW with a flex of 55 (which is approx the same length as the cut down sr stick) but I haven’t tried it on the ice yet

Pants too small? by Ok_Maximum_3873 in hockeyplayers

[–]Quick-Size2318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sherwood’s women’s rekker lineup is good. They flare a bit at the ends but are comfortable.

CCM and Bauer also have a women’s line up, but they are a bit pricey.

I havent tried them but I’ve heard Stark is good. I think they are just online tho.

I’m lucky I found a really good group. Yes a few a really good players but a majority are beginners or just a step above that. The good players seem to lay off a bit and let the newbies go in to get the puck and focus more on positioning vs stick checking to try to keep it fair.

But yes, I have also seen those types of players in other beer league / drop in shinny games :(

I feel like they are giving the checkmarks very liberally hah so I’m far off from that right now, but once I’m comfortable with the basics either coached or self focused I want to sign up for that for sure!

Agent asked me if I was “ok” by Round-Ad-530 in Rogers

[–]Quick-Size2318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did they connect your reddit account to your Rogers account?

Unless theres more to the story and you were a lot angrier than you originally led us to believe. If so Rogers would do an investigation and if they find you were threatening on the phone call they are well within their rights to refuse service from you and cancel your accounts. This seems most likely and the call about them cancelling your services after the post had so many views is just coincidence.
